Neocon Bolton: 'US has no strategic interest in united Iraq'

You have to wonder what the thinking is in the White House on Iraq. But when a prominent neocon criticizes Bush conduct of the war, then you have news:

Former US envoy to the United Nations John Bolton said in an interview published in France that the United States has "no strategic interest" in a united Iraq.

Bolton, who resigned last month from his temporary appointment as UN ambassador, also told the French daily Le Monde that US President George W. Bush's administration acted too slowly to hand power over to Iraqis after toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003.

You have to be really inept to have your most ardent supporters turn against you. Bolton was a true soldier for the White House in the UN before being rejected by the Senate for a permanent spot there. If he says Bush screwed-up then he screwed-up.
